Zainudin Meon, . (1998) Nutrient response of young starfruit seedlings to limited container volumes and shapes. [Proceedings Paper]
Abstract
A study was conducted to determine response of star fruit contains volume and shapes : two-month seedlings curves transplanted in container of different shapes and sizes. Root restriction was first detected in the 3-litre pots by the 18th week. Container volume was found to be the primary factor in influencing plant height leaf area and total dry weight except root : shoot ratio. Decrease in container volume from 12 to 3 litres reduced 54 0.41 0.53 49 and 48 in total N P K Ca and Mg accumulation respectively. Nitrogen root uptake efficiency NRUE reduced from 1.75 to 1.28 g shoot gE-1 root dry matter when container volume reduced by four-folds. Although there was reduction in nutrient accumulation no nutrient deficiencies were observed in leaves stem and roots. By controlling the container volumes resulted in small and efficient plant growth.
